So, I'm trying to flash donut, but cwm won't let me flash because of the amend thing.
Installed xrec thru flashtool as cwm won't let me install it, and selected reboot into speciffic recover and selected 0.3
And it reboots into cwm still.
What to do?
Thanks

Is there an Installer APK for the fixed version of xRecovery?

Mine current version is having issues mounting the SDCard. I have tried extracting the zip however it did not work.
(Stock 2.3 ROM)

I have the x64 version of FlashTool and don't see the option to download and flash xRecovery.

Turn on USB debugging and then connect rooted phone to PC. Turn on flashtool, there should be option to flash recovery either xRecovery or CWM Recovery. Recovery installer is on "+" mark (I have x64 flashtool and it is there - same as in 32 bit version)

Thanks, I will look again when I get home today. Although I though I clicked on every button on the dash, as well as the Recovery option from the file list (Which was empty, showing only "Default")
Thanks for the suggestions, I willl look more thoroughly in FlashTool

I had to manually extract files to /system/bin and /system/xbin using root explorer, and then it worked finally

    Q&A:

    Q: How to use "boot custom ROM/kernel" option?
    A: this is designed for ROM developers. This option executes a custom script (/system/kernel/boot.sh), which may be used for multiple puproses like:
    - boot custom kernel
    - boot custom ROM from SD Card
    - dual-boot
    - etc

    Q: can you give an example?
    A: Sure. Here's the simple boot.sh script to boot the custom kernel:
    Code:
    #!/sbin/sh
    # zdzihu: boot custom kernel
    
    insmod /system/kernel/splboot.ko
    sync
    cat /system/kernel/miniloader > /proc/splboot/image
    cat /system/kernel/boot.img > /proc/splboot/boot_img
    sleep 3
    echo > /proc/splboot/boot

    Q: What's edify scripting?
    A: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936175

    Q: Will it work with X8/X10mini/X100/T1000?
    A: Yes and no. Yes, because it's compiled in compatibility mode (armv6).
    But not this particular release. The init files must be changed by X8/X10mini/X100/T1000 devs first. Please check in the relevant threads.

    @z, can you please upload v1.0 sources, so we mini pro users, can mod it to fit our devices, thanks.
    Soon. At the moment I'm working on integrating update-binary into recovery - without it update.zip might either not flash or damage /system partition. Let's say it's a critical update :)

    Cheers,
